Personally, I agree with what mverta's doing. I do understand that a lot of people will disagree, but I honestly just want to see Star Wars preserved in a resolution that will be suitable for the future. With the news of Congress not having prints of the original and Lucas's mandate to destroy them if found, I just want to have the knowledge that somewhere there's a pristine version.

If one day, Lucas miraculously has a change of heart but can't find a source to release, Legacy will be there. I do think that there are plenty of prints out there, but I doubt there are many high quality scans of them. They will probably only grow in worse condition in the future.

To me, it is understandable that in order to use the top quality materials, mverta needed to not release this. If he appears cocky (something I personally don't see), then he somewhat has right to be, as this is indeed the best preservation project possible.

Just my two cents, feel free to disagree.
